Rain by Bob MacKenzie I Walking out in the rain one day, I met a friend of mine And we walked our road together a way And said we both felt fine. Well the time came that we must part, My dear dear friend and I - As gifts, I gave friendship and she her heart Baked in an old style pie. II Who are you dreaming of...? Is it a small child far away Crying for her mother? Is it an old woman of another day Crying for your love? (It screams with all the latent fury of the hatred that lies in love.) III Carelessly I ate the humble heart pie - Digested, divested Part of a friend; part of a lie; Part love proved and tested. IV Who are you dreaming of...? Are you dreaming a brand new life, The kind you wish you had? And how real is your dream, or life Crying out for love? (It screams with all the latent fury of the hatred that lies in love.) V Walking out in the rain one day, I met a friend of mine And we walked along together a way And said we both felt fine. VI The problem is my thoughts are all locked up inside Peering from a private little cage where they hide... (sanity is a strange thing. you lose it so easily when you're tired when you're drunk when you're angry when you've lost a friend an enemy a lover hope.) VII A mind is a large empty room In which two persons meet. VIII Who are you dreaming of...? Is it a small child far away? Is it an old woman of another day? Are you dreaming a brand new life, And how real is your dream, or life When there is no love? (It screams with all the latent fury of the hatred that lies in love.) IX Walking out in the rain one day, My dear dear friend and I - Part of a friend and part a lie That said we both felt fine. X Who are you dreaming of... Crying for her mother, Crying for your love, The kind you wish you had; Crying out for love? (Part a friend and part of me, it screams with all the latent fury of hatred that lies.) |
